Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.

Hung, drawn

I've been here 3 months now. That's a quarter of my way through my contract. Christmas is the half-way mark.

So in three months I have::

fallen in love;

got 3 pairs of pants taken in;

worn stilettos to work;

written about 60 postcards;

sweated more than I thought possible;

had my first coldsore;

taken photos I'm happy with;

affected an American accent day-in, day-out;

made some very good friends;

rocked out;

eaten kilos of kimchi;

heaps of other shit.

Guess I feel good about my life here. 'Specially since Charlie the One and Only came to visit, this place feels good. I'm not feeling as lonely and now my kinder classes all have textbooks so my teaching is easier. I've found a place that prints my photos how I like. I know my neighbourhood better and better, and have started running into neighbours and students, which is nice. Still don't know much Korean but I learn little bits everyday.

Hmm.

Another day I may write a list of all the shit I miss at home and all the shit I hate about here. Heh heh.

3 months pussy cat! Time doth fly fast.. All smiles in the Glen of Wattle. Salons a slooowww. I'll get there xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxxoxoxooxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxNot enough kisses in the whole world for you. ps LISTS ROCK !!!!!EJW

love the pictures you have newly posted in your zenit folder, especially the one with the boat full of korean soldiers. i think you have done a hell of good job with it, coz the water in the lake looks so clean,so it seems nothing happened there...

oh,i just wanted to assume that you have eaten more kimchi than i have had for whole my life...good on ya...hehe...

Congratulations, sounds like a big change and a hard slog. Lots of adventures though and seems that you have your positive eyes working. I would like to try live outside of Australia but it seems out of reach at the moment, $$$ sucks.
